Day 330

I really need to get to bed earlier. I’ve been mildly obsessed with playing The Sims 4. My obsession started when I watched Youtube personality, Jazza, make a video about how he made his sim paint non-stop. The game looked pretty good so I got it.

Anyway, when I finally got to bed I meditated; GUIDED SLEEP MEDITATION for Healing, and had a nice sleep. I probably would have slept in if Homer dog didn’t bounce up onto the bed for snuggles.

It was a cool and darkish morning. I am hoping that yesterday was the final Summer hurrah for the weather. I am more than ready for Autumn to begin. Of course, my morning was still blissfully lazy and took quiet some time to get started. The first thing I did was some singing. I figured it was creative but still gave me a little more procrastination time.

For my watercolour painting today I wandered away from winter scenes and found; Simple Watercolour Landscape Painting Using Only One Brush! by Karen Rice. This is probably one of my worst practices so far. I really don’t pay enough attention to the videos.

In today’s Adventures of Arthur Puddles we find him reading some fairy tales to a polar bear cub for International Polar Bear day.

Since I’ve started learning Norwegian, I have more than doubled my language learning time. I wasn’t exactly slacking off with French but I wasn’t giving it as much attention as I should have. I would do the minimum required and not much more. Now I just can’t get enough of either language. Today was a good practice.

I actually did a meal plan! *GASP* I have been so terrible at planning lately, well, at everything lately. I guess the upside of being bad at something is there is room for improvement. It’s not the fanciest of meal plans but it should be delicious. We tried the taquitos last week and they are a new favourite. So much flavour and so cheap to make. We will add a lot of extra veggies to the Autumn Beef Casserole so we can have it again on Tuesday night. (I used the French words for days of the week for practice.)

Chicken Ceasar Salad : Thursday / Jeudi
Buffalo Chickpea Taquitos : Friday / Vendredi
Beef Burger : Saturday / Samedi
Grilled Pesto Chicken with Bacon, Potato and Pea Hash : Sunday / Dimanche
Autumn Beef Casserole with Herb Dumplings: Monday / Lundi

Once I’d done all that, I only had enough time for a little housework before hubby got home. Glad the end of the day is here. Really looking forward to getting to bed on time.

I hope your day has been filled with goodness, kindness, and adventures.
